First Lady Dr. Jill Biden\u2019s California speech garnered attention on social media on Wednesday for what users perceived as a botched attempt to pronounce a phrase in Spanish.<\/p>\n
Biden appeared alongside California Gov. Gavin Newsom in Delano, California and spoke to farmworkers on the birthday of C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez, who was considered a transformational labor leader and Latin American civil rights activist.<\/p>\n
But it was the First Lady\u2019s pronunciation of “\u00a1Si Se Puede!,” which translates to “yes we can” in Spanish that drew criticism on Twitter. <\/p>\n
The Fresno Bee also pointed to the gaffe.<\/p>\n

It has also been adopted by other activist groups.<\/p>\n Biden pronounced it correctly on separate occasions in the same speech, in which she also encouraged farm workers to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/strong><\/p>\n The First Lady said that Ch\u00e1vez is a big inspiration to the president, and noted that President Biden began his career “inspired by the civil rights movement.”<\/p>\n “As president, Joe is fighting for those who often go unseen,” Jill Biden said. “He believes that our work must be guided by justice and humanity.”<\/p>\n
